My orientation was last night and it went well. We went over who all of the staff were and how we would use them as resources. We went over financial aid briefly and how each of us will meet separately if we haven't already; how to access the school portal and how important it is that we check it on a daily basis; what records we will need such as physicals, shot records, urine 10 panel, etc; we had our pictures taken for ID badges; tried on uniforms so we would know what sizes we will need and can get those ordered. They gave us all a free t-shirt and pens along with a folder from the college with all of our paperwork and information we will need in it. It was informative and I know how to get ahold of anyone of the staff now :)

Now I feel frantic to get everything remaining done. I need a flu shot, my shot records, my physical (which I had completed this morning), my urine 10 panel, and my CPR needs renewed.

I start January 22nd. I got accepted last minute so I can't complain. Everyone else has known what was needed. Luckily I have access to get it all done but it's also partly going to cost some $ too. That's ok I'm looking forward to being a broke nursing student, lol. Good luck to us both!! I hope we love it.

Hard work always pays off.

Our last week before full time ADN students...what are you doing with it? I keep wanting to study something but then my cousin who just graduated keeps telling me to enjoy it instead. Unfortunately I'm sick so haven't felt much liking doing anything other than movies on the sofa all weekend.

Don't let the women push you around, lol. JK but they may try to get you to do any heavy lifting, etc. I've seen it happen.

I just found out I got a spot last Thursday, orientation this Thurs and school starts next Tues. Not exactly as much time as I would like for all the jabs, physical and what not. But I'm stoked to be in.

Congrats on everybody getting in, or graduating!!! I go back to classes on the 15th! I am part-time for now and only taking 6 credits, but that still makes me a happy goose!
Hi, are you in a ASN or BSN program?

Hi, so exciting!! Good luck :) I'm so bored, we go back at the end of February here in Australia, after 3 1/2 months break. It's hell!! I'm doing reading on my own to keep my brain alive...
